I enjoyed Polar, pretty brutal and graphic in a few places. It felt like the pilot for a series rather than a standalone film, especially the ending.
Not one I'd go back to but enjoyable.
Where they chose to use a bloody drone pull back shot as the finale.... laugh

I watched Blackfish last night / this morning.

I've been avoiding it for years as i loved going to SeaWorld but now i've seen it what they did was nothing short of atrocious. Not just in the treatment of the Whales but their staff, their attempted sweeping under the caret of the trainer death(s).

I knew what the outcome was and the whole story but somehow seeing it played out the way it was just made it real.

I’ve just started it’s always sunny in Philadelphia. 14 years to catch up on!!

Are the seasons sequential? Should I just watch the latest?

The tapes? I stared them yesterday, worth a go I think.

Thought it would be a typical Netfix young adult rom/com type thing - loved it!

Bloke falls for girl - uses social media and his own craziness to stalk/date her - nice balance between funny and dramatic and different.

Although they are stand-alone episodes, I'd watch them in sequence. Especially S1 first as that is before Danny DeVito arrives, so you've got that out of the way.

I'm in the same boat, always looked past it until a mate insisted I watch it and now I am hooked. I'd say watch from the beginning that's what I am doing, I'm up to about season 4 and I love it.

I really enjoyed this too. Far from a Rom Com I would say.

It felt more like a comment on the 'White Knight' mentality in some creepy men (in fact, I think it actually mentions that phrase at one point).

Just started peaky blinders last night. Stuck for something to watch and it was between that and sense 8.

Seems like a good choice so far 2 episodes in, just noticed the seasons are short at only 6 episodes.

Norsemen, how have I missed this. Very funny, great scenery, can't wait for season 3.

Think I dismissed due to it looking like a serious program !

Just watch 10mins of episode 1 to get you hooked. 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Its excellent, one of the series is a bit weak (3 maybe) but its all worth it

Personally I couldn't get into it and didn't find it particularly funny.

Opinions!

Sense8 is one of my favourite shows on Netflix. Superb.

I thought the first series was dire - after that it is excellent. So many times I have nearly choked on my dinner watching it.

You guys are really lucky - I wish I could watch it for the first time again.

One of the only shows I know where the quality really hasn't dropped in any season. And the last episode of season 13 is just incredible.

I loved Season 1... Started Season 2 but struggled a bit... I didn't find it easy to slot into like you would a conventional series.
It's one to be patient with and I know people who struggled.... I will revisit it though.

A tragedy....

Last night i couldn't find anything to watch. At all on Netflix.

Now i've got a steer for It's always sunny though i think i'm back into my usual addicted self.

Will give Sense 8 a go too.

Suits is an all right show actually, just belatedly finished season one. Meghan also has a great ass.
